BLURB:

It’s been a year of
tragic loss and difficult decisions for widow Rose Raber. She thought providing
for her young daughter was the greatest challenge she faced. Until her dying
mother revealed Rose was adopted—and her birth mother is someone with much to
lose if the secret comes out. As Rose struggles to reconcile the truth with her
faith—and her troubling curiosity—outgoing newcomer Matthias Wagler is another
surprise she didn’t expect. His optimism and easy understanding inspire her.
And his prospective partnership with wealthy deacon Saul Hartzler promises a
possible new life for them—together. But with this second chance comes yet
another revelation for all involved.

When Saul’s wife
unexpectedly turns up at Rose’s new job, their bond as mother and daughter is
instant and unmistakable. It isn’t long before an unforgiving Saul discovers
the truth, threatening Matthias’s livelihood and Rose’s future. Now with more
than just their happiness at stake, Rose and Matthias must find the strength
and courage to stand strong—and trust God’s enduring miracles of motherhood,
forgiveness, and love.

My Review:

Another incredible and delicate story about the wonderful mother-daughter relationship by Charlotte Hubbard, will capture you from the first page and you can't put it down. I was very upset when I arrived at the end, I wished would never end.

Rose is destroyed, in a year has lost her parents and her husband. She also discovers that her life is based on a huge lie: she was adopted. She is very tight, feels the desire and curiosity to know her real mother but at the same time doesn't want to betray who had loved her as a true daughter. Matthias also needs to start a new life after losing his wife. He and Rose will help each other to take back their lives.

Rose is a very likeable character, determined, strong, loyal, a wonderful mother, impossible not to become attached to her and to her sweet little girl.

It's written really well, romantic, exciting, funny and moving.

If you are looking for an intense and full of emotions reading Charlotte Hubbard will not disappoint you.

EXCERPT:

“How was your morning with Jerusalem and Vernon?” Rose asked
as she managed a smile for the bishop’s wife. “I hope you were a gut little
guest?”

“The best company we could’ve asked for,” Jerusalem replied.
“We gathered the eggs, and Gracie counted the new chicks in the barn—”

Jerusalem chuckled. “She speaks the truth. Hiding isn’t
Vernon’s best talent, I’m afraid. But he was a gut sport about it when Gracie
found him right off.”

“See, ‘Rusalem?” the
little girl said, pointing to the mounded rows in the garden. “We put the
lettuce on this end, and the peas down this way. Mamma said we could plant an
extra long row of those, coz they’re my favorite.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Many moons
ago—like, in 1983 while she was still a school librarian—Charlotte Hubbard sold
her first story to True Story. This launched her into writing around seventy of
those “true confessions” stories over the years, and she’s been a slave to her
overactive imagination ever since. Over the course of her writing career, she
has sold nearly 50 books—most recently, Amish romance series she’s written as
Charlotte Hubbard or Naomi King.

Charlotte lived
in Missouri for most of her life, so her Amish stories are set in imaginary
Missouri towns. These days she lives in St. Paul, MN with her husband of 40+
years and their Border collie, Vera.
